Monthly Wire
New website design: tell us what you think
We’d like to know what you think of the new Monthly website, a long-awaited update on our 2007 design.
The bold new website features more photography and illustration to tempt you into spending more time online with Australia’s finest thinkers, journalists and critics.
The home page will be updated regularly with topical articles and videos from across the site, as well as the best reading from across the world via our recently launched Shortlist Daily service.
In addition to the Monthly Wire (our new blog – you’re reading it now), more blogs will be coming online soon.
We’re still rolling out some new features and ironing out the wrinkles, but there is already plenty to enjoy.
So if you have something to say about our new online home, please let us know by leaving a comment below.
